下列代码展示了如何在代码中创建 bars 和 bar items。

在本示例中创建了两个 bars —— 一个主菜单 (一个被拉伸并与窗体宽度匹配的栏) 和一个常规 bar。 主菜单将包含三个子菜单 (File、Edit 和 View)，每个子菜单都有自己的 bar items。 第二个 bar 将显示 Output 按钮，该按钮也在 View 子菜单中的第一个 bar item 可用：

Bars 被添加到 BarManager.Bars 集合中。 通过 Bar.AddItem 和 Bar.AddItems 方法，Bar items 被添加到 bars 中。

为了在添加和定制 bars 及其 bar items 时避免闪烁，执行定制操作的代码被放置在 BarManager.BeginUpdate 和 BarManager.EndUpdate 方法之间进行调用。

为了对单击 bar items 作出响应， BarManager.ItemClick 事件被接管。
